We are comparing apples to oranges...I don't support this move either. But then I question myself, if I supported Russia on Crimea why would I not support our Tamils on Katchatheevu ?
1) its an uninhabited island while Crimea has about 60% ethnic Russian who speak and support Russia.
2) Crimea was Russia's summer destination.Ppl are emotionally connected to it.Nothing of that sort is in the case of Katchatheevu.
3) Somewhere in 1994 Crimea briefly flirted with independence and union with Russia. Russia has often accused Ukraine's government of infringing on the rights of ethnic Russians.Again kathacheevu has never been witness to any such activity.
4) crimea is huge in comparison to the small uninhabited island katchatheevu..it makes no sense for India to get into a row for such a petty issue.
I too supported Russia.But thats because Russia was trying to protect its own ppl.
You're underestimating itRussia has naval bases that it is willing to take heat over to protect, India will take heat over fishing of all things?
